Chapter 693 Stomachache
Inside the mansion in Dragon Bay. Josephine stared at Jared’s detoxification pill in disgust and scowled. “What the hell is this? Ugh, it smells horrible and looks so disgusting.”
Jared wanted Josephine to take the detoxification pill, but she obviously hated that idea.
“Lizbeth, take the pill. It’s amazing, and I promise your strength will increase several folds after taking it,” urged Jared who had since turned his attention to Josephine.
Unfortunately, Lizbeth was also having a hard time swallowing that pill. However, it was understandable since the smell was simply too much.
Jared was utterly speechless when he saw how both ladies refused to take the pills. He had no choice but to keep trying. “This pill is known as the detoxification pill, and it is highly coveted. Many would kill to get their hands on it, and I had to spend so much effort to get it for the two of you. Haven’t you both been wanting to practice cultivation? You’ll have to take the pill before you can do that.”
Josephine saw how irritated Jared looked, so she bit down and made her decision. “Okay, fine! Let me warn you, if this detoxification pill isn’t as great as you claim it is, I will beat you up. Seriously, why didn’t you put some sugar in it while you were making it? This smell is just too disgusting.”
After saying that, Josephine pinched her nose, popped her mouth open, and swallowed the pill right after.
The effects of the detoxification pill weren’t something regular folks could handle. Josephine frowned soon after, and her stomach grumbled.
“Are you sure that’s the detoxification pill? Did you take the wrong pill and gave me laxative instead?” asked Josephine. She had turned pale. Her hand was on her stomach as the pain ambushed her. There was no way to hold it in.
“Josephine, what’s wrong?”
Lizbeth was going to take the pill after she saw Josephine taking it, but the way Josephine reacted after that discouraged her. She hurried over to ask how Josephine was doing.
“Are you okay?”
Jared panicked as well.
He had never taken a detoxification pill before, so he didn’t know what was happening either. When he saw how much pain Josephine was in, he quickly reached out for her hand to check her condition. However, she ran to the washroom before he could get to her.
Pfft!
The continuous sound of passing gas stunned Jared. Does Josephine have food poisoning? Or is there something wrong with the pill?
Curious, Jared inched closer to the washroom and knocked on the door. “Josephine? Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just wait there and don’t come in,” replied Josephine. She was panicking a little and was quick to lock the door. It was simply too embarrassing. I can’t believe it stinks so badly! Oh gosh, this is so nauseating.
Josephine had to turn on the exhaustion fan and basically do everything she could to deal with the smell.
“Jared, where did you get that detoxification pill from? Were you conned? Seriously, if anything were to happen to Josephine… Well, I guess you’ll just have to drown yourself in regret.”
Lizbeth glared before tossing the detoxification pill back to him.
Jared caught the detoxification pill while having an utterly confused look on his face. It was highly unlikely that Rayleigh would lie to Jared. After all, the latter was there and watched as the former create the detoxification pill. There shouldn’t be anything off with it.
“Josephine, are you okay? Should I call an ambulance?” asked Lizbeth.
Jared was an incredible medical practitioner but Lizbeth still thought it was better to call the ambulance. It was inappropriate for a man to be too close to a woman, after all.
“No, there’s no need for that. It’s just a stomachache,” replied Josephine as quickly as possible.
With that, Jared and Lizbeth had no choice but to wait patiently. They were there for thirty long minutes before they saw Josephine leaving the toilet while blushing hard.
“Are you okay?”
Jared hurried over when he saw Josephine.
However, he stopped short before he could finish asking all of his questions.
Josephine’s skin was practically glowing at the time, and her cheeks were a little pink. Even without her make-up on, she looked as stunning as an angel.
Lizbeth’s eyes bulged as well. She stared in astonishment, which made Josephine a little uncomfortable.
